Dec. 7th, 2006 01:02 pmHoliday M & M's are evil and insidious. Can't stop eating the minty deliciousness! And I really should since I've had nasty tummy ickies for two days. I think I'm feeling a bit better today.
This weekend promises to be a family overload weekend but I think I'll manage because we are doing mostly fun thing. Tonight I'm going to Mom and Dad's for dinner and mom is taking me Christmas shopping, so she can buy my presents. I can't complain about that.:>D I'm going to stay the night and then Mom and I are going to an all day scrapbooking party tomorrow. Saturday is my grandparent's 65th wedding anniversary party in Vancouver. We plan to leave between 9 and 10 and have no idea how long we will be. It's a worthy thing to celebrate though. Very happy, even though my grandmother grows more child like almost daily. Grandpa is her anchor and as long as he is around she is happy. After 65 years I'm glad that, of all the things she can remember that she values, he is the most important. Sweetness and sadness all at the same time. None of us thought she would live to see their 65th anniversary; 66 seems way out of reach. Oops I shouldn't have thought of it being perhaps their last anniversary; that makes is more sad than happy.
Somewhere amidst all of this ruckus, I still need to work on Christmas presents. I did finally get a little embroidery piece done for my mother's birthday on Monday. I realized, however, that I forgot someone in my list of people to receive the crocheted towels so I need to make 6 more towels. I still have to sew buttons on everything. That's 70 towels total and I feel inadequate since grandma did over 200 the last year. Still, I think I was a little busier. ;>)
Speaking of busy...I just discovered that, in order to officially graduate next term, I need to finish my project and defend it before Feb 16th. I have to schedule all of that by Jan 26th. YIKES! I thought I had a few more weeks. Scary. Of course if I don't make the deadline, I can still finish my project and defend it after then but I won't officially graduate until Spring term. Time to get my hiney in gear. I only have two more lessons to write and one to rewrite but then I need to review information that I've studied in other course, since I can be asked questions about any of my coursework. I'm very very concerned- not that I think I'll do poorly I just will worry until it's done. Ack!
